Spider, Welcome to SR, so glad you found us, much help here. Very good commments above.

Depending on how long she drank and how much.
Recovery is a really tough road, they have to make sobriety their # one priorty, everything else should be put on hold . Perhaps someone at detox told them no contact, that is always best from what I have seen in treatment centers.

They have fears, anxiety, nerve endings scream,. they get Rx's to help, but just till they get stabilized then they face life on lifes' terms, without a crutch.

Please try Al-Anon so you have an idea how to be the most help to her. Also go to an open AA meeting, If at AA you need to say your name, say first name and I am Al-Anon.
Al-Anon means friend or family of an alcoholic, so covers everyone in my opinion.

Keep coming back here,read everything, ask questions or just tell us your worries, concerns, feelings, it helps very much to type it out.
Remember to take what you can use and leave the rest.
